Real Life Example:
One hour of video encoded at 300 kb/s encoded in a 320×240 pixels window size.
If the file is stored on a server for on-demand streaming and this stream is viewed by 1 000 people at
the same time using a uincast protocol, the requirement is:
300 kb/s × 1 000 = 300 000 kb/s = 300MB of bandwidth
135GB per hour

multicast streaming
Real Life Example:
One hour of video encoded at 300 kb/s encoded in a 320×240 pixels window size.
